From Sweetgreen's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
sweetgreen is on a mission to build healthy communities by connecting people to real food. We passionately believe that real food should be convenient and accessible to everyone, and we are building a company that reflects that belief. Our team is made up of people who care deeply about the guest experience, our partners, and each other.
The Systems Engineer II, New Restaurant Openings is responsible for the technical build out of new and relocated sweetgreen restaurants. The role sits on the NRO team within Technology and works at the intersection of business systems analysis and hands on technical execution: partnering with Store Design, Operations, and third party vendors, translating restaurant requirements into system configuration, then staging, configuring, and validating the restaurant technology stack so that each location opens with technology that works the
first time. That stack includes POS and QSR platforms such as PAR Brink, along with payments, loyalty, inventory, Salesforce, and the integrations between them. You will be a technical point of contact at each NRO milestone, and you will help reduce the manual effort in the process over time through scripting, API driven tooling, and templated configuration.
you treat configuration accuracy as the product, and you verify rather than assume.
you flex from documentation and requirements work to hands-on troubleshooting depending on what the opening requires.
openings do not move, and you stay steady and clear-headed in the final week.
you look for the pattern behind a recurring issue instead of fixing the same thing store by store.
you would rather script a task than repeat it, and you look for the manual work worth eliminating.
you communicate technical risk credibly to operators and business leaders without jargon.
you follow an opening through to a stable handoff rather than to the point of technical completion.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
3 to 5+ years in systems engineering, business systems analysis, or technical implementation, ideally within restaurant, retail, or QSR technology.
Hands-on configuration experience with POS and QSR platforms, with PAR Brink, QSR Automation preferred and Toast, Aloha, or Oracle Micros comparable, including menu, pricing, tender, and store-level configuration.
Demonstrated ability to automate operational and configuration work using scripting such as Python or PowerShell, REST APIs, and SQL, with examples of manual effort measurably reduced.
Working knowledge of integration patterns and middleware, with the ability to debug data flow across POS, payments, loyalty, inventory, and reporting systems, and strong testing discipline across test case design, UAT, and regression coverage.
Experience delivering against fixed, externally driven deadlines with multiple concurrent workstreams, and based in Los Angeles with willingness to travel to opening locations as needed.
Experience supporting multi-unit fleet growth or new restaurant formats
Familiarity with version control and CI-style validation applied to configuration management
